Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta admits qualifying for Europe is looking difficult after their 0-0 draw at Burnley.

Arteta also says giving away poor goals is a problem for his team.

He said, "Well, we are talking about it all the time and just trying to nullify anything that we give to the opponent. In the last few weeks, we have done that. We have to improve that individually, as in the end we have to make decisions on the pitch and it looks easy from the outside.

"It's not that easy away from home, but if someone makes a mistake because they're playing the way we want to play, I will always support them. If someone is hiding and doesn't want to play and then makes a mistake, I'm not going to have that."

On reaching the Europa League places, Arteta concedes: "It's really complicated at the moment.

"It's true that the feeling that I have with the way we are playing is that we can win any game, but as well, as you mentioned before, if you are giving something to the opponent, obviously the game is all the time on the line.

"This is where, in my opinion, we have the biggest margin of improvement. But anything can happen."
